Hi Nick,

I enjoyed your Prove It letter….. and agree with what you say….. you listed 2 reasons why many chiros don’t use technology – there is also a 3rd – they don’t believe in the Validity of these tools…. They think that they are gimmicks, or that they don’t measure meaningful physiology….this needs to be addressed in order to increase their usage .

My thoughts

Cheers

You could be right about the entry reasons of many Chiropractic patients. But here’s the question - what makes patients stay for “maintenance” or even “wellness” care and what moves patients beyond symptomatic relief and into state of wellbeing? Answer: Dramatic improvements in their presenting complaint and/or unexpected improvements in other health issues (from internal disorders to general quality of life and wellbeing issues) AND positive health changes that CONTINUE to be experienced: That is they don’t plateau. This is one of the most commonly noted advantages of the TRT system whereby it is technically responsive and adaptive to where each patient’s system is at right now - so they continue to get great changes.
The TRT checking protocols can also be adapted for a number of other investigative reasons such as extremity adjusting as you ask, and we teach this at the Australian Advanced workshop. The other real advantage of attending the advanced workshop is the quantum leap in both testing and adjusting proficiency.

Hi Doc:

I have been an Activator Methods practitioner for 12 years. I recently took a TRT seminar and was impressed with the techiques ability to reduce the subluxation. However, I have yet to have a new patient walk into my office and asked to have their spines checked for subluxations. The become chiropractic patients because of some musculoskeletal complaint. Activator Methods can completely address and joint problem in the body very effectively. I totally understand the devistating effects of subluxations, but I also understand the mentality of the average chiropractic patient. I guess I would like to know whether you adjust extra spinal problems as a TRT practitioner or do you only address spinal subluxations. And does TRT have methods of correcting extra spinal problems.

I am trying to decide whether to take the advanced class or not. What will we learn in the advanced TRT class?
